UNICEF had commissioned GPCL to carry out rapid surveys of health facilities such as Anti Retroviral Therapy Centres, Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission Centres, and Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres delivering the HIV / AIDS Control Program in the three Indian States of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Manipur so as to identify bottlenecks in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) and recommend improvements.
As a sequel to the earlier assignment, UNICEF commissioned GPCL to extend the study on Supply Chain Management to the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Nagaland. Subsequently, GPCL was asked to conduct a workshop in six State Capitals, so that the bottlenecks identified and the proposed recommendations could be disseminated to officers nominated by respective State Aids Control Society drawn from District Anti Retroviral Therapy and Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres.
On behalf of Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), who had been appointed as a consultant by the National Aids Control Project (NACO), India, GPCL conducted a performance review of the Procurement Agent appointed for the World Bank funded Phase II Aids Control Project, involving comprehensive study of Procurement, Financial and Contractual Management processes adopted by the Procurement Agent and decisions taken by him in the execution of the project.
